Jeffries raises his hand in defence to Hosannah, who stumbles backwards, and a posse of Leeds players then race from their bench.

And Mr Higginson accused the Leeds bench staff of 'inflaming' the situation and felt the club should have been sanctioned as well.

He said: “We accept the FAW’s decisions, but the English FA’s decision puzzles me. It does seem that just one side has been punished appropriately.

“The FA’s decision doesn’t make sense to me when it was one of our players who ended up injured and the Leeds bench sparked off and inflamed the situation.

“What happened that night is certainly not what was reported in the media at the time, which cast Rhyl in an unfair, bad light.”

Jason Jeffries and his Rhyl teammate Tony Davies received three-match bans for violent conduct for their part in the fracas.
